Magento using sessions

Date June 16, 2014 Author By Razvan Mocanu Category Magento how to

Even if in PHP using session variables is pretty easy, believe it or not in Magento is even simpler:

To set data

Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->setData('var_name',$somevalue)

To get data

Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getData('var_name')

Session variables persist between different page loads so you can use this to pass data between pages.
